My TAKE on The Ditch,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[BassDawg]

first year to fish there, fished it not nearly enough~~~

went there 6 times; hooked-up twice~ landed bupkiss!
MUCH thanks to BackBeach for "showing me the rocks", AND
for the Conrad Slopehead that IS a NShore linesiderin' magnet!

LOVED it there, what an amazing, iconic, historic piece of the Striper Coast. i am quite shore that i've only begun to scratch the surface of such a diverse and mysterious fishery; however i DID determine that it can be a VERRRRY productive place to fish, and at the TOP of my To Learn List, with GeeBRRY as a strong 1A. the cast of charachters that accompanies its storied past/present will also be a thrill to discover!!

in an effort to confirm or deny what the bottom seams like
to me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i offer this crude and simplistic rendering~~~

as always, thanks for any and ALL comments or opinions.

I know that light pole..SPOT BURN!!!!!

[Nebe]

SHHH! those caves are top secret.

[BassDawg]

SEVEN??

i used 7, because that is my Boston Ironworker's Local #7.
it also is HUGE in the Bible,,,,,,,,,God's number of Completion.

tribute to Trot Nixon, one of my lucky ##'s, and for Touchdowns!!

NEVER fished lightpole Number Seven,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but now that YOU mention it~~~

[fishbones]

The only thing missing from that picture is about 2 dozen Deep Shads that I lost to lobster traps and other rip rap on the bottom.

thanks, Bro! yours and mine, BOTH!!

except i lost needles, no deep shads this year~~

You are missing a canal cruiser on either side as well, and dont forget the jackbags casting from the path over the top of the people fishing at the waters edge, this picture clearly has been done by a true artist,

Andy i think that is the spot we fished last time, looks like the hole infront of you i was grabbing the stripers from, thoughts?

[Pete F.]

Where is the lead pavement?

[johnny ducketts]

you forgot the white buckets, old discarded dunkin donuts coffee cups, and 500 miles of braid stuck in the rocks.

You forgot all my jigs.

It's going to be a long winter around here...

jess,
Very true rendition particularly with that nice
fishie lurking in the deepest waters. How can
you do CCC for one year and get Backbeach to
show you the rocks. I seen him a dozen times
over many years and all i get a hello. Bupkiss
happens!!!!
PS John R notice how I kept it clean no naughty
woids.

[MAKAI]

Nice " Art "
Picassoesque in its neoclassical figurative style. A slight hint of cubism.
Simply amazing what you can do with a day off and a box full of crayons.
Your refrigerator door must be a display of greatness.

A lot better than I can do.
